Birth and Postpartum Doula and Monitrice
As a doula, I provide non-clinical emotional and physical support during labor, birth, and the early postpartum period. As a monitrice, I also work within my scope as a midwife to offer basic wellness assessments at home during pregnancy, early labor, and the postpartum period when appropriate.
I can join you as you decide when it is time to leave for your birth, or once you are settled and admitted. I offer reassurance, hands-on comfort, and experienced guidance to help you better understand the progress of labor and feel supported throughout the experience.
I also offer in-home postpartum care, with both daytime and overnight support available through the first 6 weeks after birth. Whether you are looking for a single visit or more comprehensive care, we can find the level of support that feels right for your family.
Steady postpartum support can ease the transition into early parenthood and help families feel more rested, confident, and cared for.

Travel Doula and Monitrice
I offer travel doula and monitrice support within the U.S. and internationally for families who would like continuity of care throughout their birth experience.
We connect throughout pregnancy via telehealth, and I travel to join you as your birth approaches—providing steady, experienced support through labor, birth, and the early postpartum period alongside your existing care team.
Self-Led Care Consulting
For families choosing self-led care or freebirth, I offer virtual prenatal and postpartum support—providing a listening ear, thoughtful guidance, and trusted resources as you prepare for and navigate your experience.
My role is to support you in making informed decisions, feeling grounded in your choices, and having a steady, experienced presence available.
Customized Childbirth Education
I offer personalized education for your family’s unique circumstances. Some families want a refresher class and others want to go more in depth. I mentor you to better understand the process of pregnancy, birth, postpartum, and the newborn period.
I help you better understand your care and options for confident, evidence-based decision-making. I help you prepare for birth, recovery, and early parenting. Siblings welcome.

Nighttime Newborn Care, Night Nurse, Night Nanny
For newborns through 2 years of age, I provide overnight care from 6 PM–6 AM, allowing you to rest, recover, and feel supported during the earliest stages of parenting.
With over 25 years of experience, I bring a calm, steady presence into your home and support both baby and parents through the natural rhythms of infant and toddler development. I follow your preferences while also gently guiding sleep, feeding, and soothing in ways that support healthy, sustainable habits.
Families with multiples, birth trauma, physical disabilities, or mental health challenges often benefit from additional support during this transition. I have experience caring for babies and toddlers with medical complexities, special needs, and those newly home from the NICU.
My goal is not just to help your child sleep, but to help your entire household feel more settled, confident, and well-rested.
